I don't even understand the distinction, to be honest, because I work in both settings. The problems are that school systems are poorly organized to meet the mental health needs of children.<br /><br />I encourage you to read, but I encourage you to try not to personalize the message. If I have a beef with a therapist I assure you that I would be very clear. In a lot of my writing I am criticizing our SYSTEMS and whether or not they are correctly configured to solve the problems they are established to help with.Christopher J.

I'm not sure why I keep reading, I just get more discouraged.AFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13556728558303501401noreply@blogger.com
